Firearm violence and the misuse of a gun or taser / tazer device presents a hazard to everyone. From children hurt by guns at a neighbor’s house, to a hunting accident caused by an untrained person mishandling a gun, innocent people can be severely injured or killed when guns are used negligently. Many gun injuries involve intentional assault. If a gun owner was negligent in storage of the weapon, a felon or a lunatic might get access to the gun and injure someone. We help recover proper compensation for people who have been injured in these tragic situations.
